- Today’s guest, Gregg Goodhart, takes all the latest research and understanding of how the human brain learns most effectively, and then puts it to practical use, in music lessons and classrooms. Through his innovative Practiclass project he’s able to prove by on-the-spot demonstration with real students, just how effective these techniques can be for breaking past longstanding plateaus and reaching new heights of instrumental ability. musl.ink/pod213
Gregg’s CZcams channel and project is called Learn Like A Genius, and with good reason. When you see the virtuoso instrumentalist, the person who seems like a musical genius, and wonder how they got so good, the chances are that they either consciously or unconsciously have been using some of the learning techniques that Gregg shares today.
We talk about:
- The two disastrous ways that the idea of “talent” sabotages music learners and can hold you back from reaching your true potential.
- Gregg’s simple three-word summary of the powerful idea of “deliberate practice”, and how it can be the key to fast progress.
- The counter-intuitive but foolproof way to break past plateaus where you just can’t seem to play a certain passage correctly at full speed.
You’re going to come away from this episode seriously inspired about what could be possible from your music practice in the future - and to make sure you’re able to really follow through on that, we’ve got a couple of fantastic ways for you to dive into using these ideas in a practical way.

Have you tried any of these superlearning techniques yourself?
One of the best hour and a half talks. Brilliant. Make notes rewind and hear it again. I will defo be following up with Gregg and Musicality U
I'm only at the start, but I love that Gregg is bouncing slightly during this interview. It's super good for staying dynamically engaged at a neurological and mental/emotional level - awesome to see him applying that, as well as normalizing it!
This is such a useful and practical interview, thanks Musical U!
Brilliant ideas - exactly what I needed! Thank you!!
The reversal of believing in talent is a growing faith in curiosity.
Thank you 🙏🏻 amazing content
Thank you for busing the talent myth. I am an "average Joe", but I was a pretty decent piano player by the time I was 15; I was playing Schubert's Impromptu Op.90-No.2 (ABRSM Grade 8) in a recital, for example. But I grew up in Japan in the 70s, where regimented practice was expected. I started when I was 4 years old and practiced every single day for 1 hour without fail as a child, and that wasn't considered unusual, or even enough if you really wanted to be good.
I came to the states in high school and all of a sudden, I was called "talented", which puzzled me because it was starting early and hard work in childhood that got me there (especially since my practices were very inefficient, lol), not some nebulous "talent" that allowed me to skate my way through. The culture of music education is different in Japan, China, Korea, etc. Yes, there are true "talented geniuses" out there (e.g. Mozart) and the talent myth does exist in Asia, too, but music making is and should be accessible to everybody.
Amazing thx so much
Nice video
My brother could replicate Mozart and Bethoven when he was 5, without any music lessons. He practiced certain things like crazy and nurtured his talent throughout the years, with no lessons but practice and listening. He can learn a song and improvise arrangements on a song as he plays it...From the first or second try. I, on the other hand could also play when I was very young but never pursued it, I never progressed, and now on my adult years I am trying to retake piano. I am a drummer though.
I am trying to find the interview with jason valheim and I cannot find it. Can you please link it?
